scoIding Salisbury.

TORONTO, April 23.-The Globe to.
day, referring to Lord Salisbury's propo.
sition for settlement of the fisheries ques.
ton, says; 1T consists in giving ev'
erything to the United States, and in dis
grazing and dishonoring the people o.
this country as they could never be dis.
graced and dishonored by manfully
defending their rights, even to the point
of war. The offer of the Tory premier is
c~owardly, despicable and treacherous to
Canada, and should it be ratified by the
Dominion parliament it will never again
be possible to assert a right to exclude
American fishermen from our inshore
waters"

not pack the jury, but give to him the
same number of challenges exercised by

number accorded anywhere in America,
he will at once, no matter what may be
the expense or inconvenience, go over to
Dublin and squarely meet any and every
accusation of a criminal nature they may
dare to make against him. This is Mr..
Egan's reply to the speeches of Mai. San

THE WATER-WORKS.

1t may interest citizens and taxpayers of
indianapolis to show how business is being
transacted with the water-works company.
This is good enough company, as corpora
tons go. Its management is honest enough,
according to the corporation standard, a
fundamental rule of which is to get all you
can, keep ali you get, and give as little as
possible in return. Perhaps a corporation is
not so much to be blamed for beating and
cheating the city as the custodians and trus-
tees of the citys interests are for letting it.
At present the city has no contract with the
water works, and is transacting business of
about $50, 600 a year with them without one.
The company pays the city nothing for the
use of its streets and alleys, or for the valu-
able monopoly of supplying the city with
water 1t would not be in accordance with
the usage of city councils to have
charged anything or attempted to Sc
cure any equivalent in return for
these valuable franchises. On the
other hand, the company charges the city .

IT is not the exception but the rule to find
the floors of Indianapolis street cars so filthy

ladies with regard for the hens of their gar

that tobacco-chewing passengers are largely
responsible for this condition of things does
not render the obligations of the management
to the clearly and decent patrons of their
lines any the less urgent. Let the cars be
kept clean, conductors put on or the fare re-

take all the manhood out of person to hold

should have compelled Secretary Fairchild to

der an old contract, now expired, the city paid
$50 year for every freplug There are over
five hundred of these, and some of them are
not used once year. The only use they are
put to is to fill the fire cisterns. flush the sew
ers now and then, at very long intervals and
sprinkle the streets Immediately in front of
the engine-houses For this limited service
the city is charged $50 a year on each plug,
amounting to over $50, 900 a year. 1t is re-
quired to pay extra for drinking fountains,
and for every drop of water used in and about
the city buildings, markets. hospital, etc.
This hard contract expired some time ago, and
an effort was made by one or two of the more
business-like councilmen to make a
better contract. AS a small retrenchment it
was proposed that in consideration of the
company should supply the drinking fountains
and city buildings free. This would have
made reduction of about 81, 500 year.
But the company declined to make a new con-
tract on those terms, the Council did not
press the matter and it was dropped The
company claim that the old contract is still in
force, and the Council yields the point, so the
only contract the city has with the company
is an expired contract which was bad one
for the city when made and worse now than
ever. This is sample Of the loose way in
which public business is transacted and cor
porations permitted to gouge the city.
